First show since 1993, ending of the Use Your Illusion Tour. First show for the new line-up. Axl on vocals, Tommy Stinson on bass, Brain on drums, Buckethead, Robin Finck and Paul Tobias on guitar, Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman (touring member) on keyboards. GN'R performed five new songs (that includes Oh My God).

First show of the Chinese Democracy World Tour and it's in China. As the band came on late, maybe 90 minutes after the opening band.

First Japanese show of the tour in front of 30,000 people. One of GN'R's fog machines was mounted way up high in the lights blew up right before showtime, showering the stage with slippery fog oil. GN'R ended up being 40 min late, while tech guys used just about every towel in the stadium to make the stage safe.

In a surprise appearance, the band played a set consisting of "Welcome to the Jungle", "Madagascar", and "Paradise City". The performance was meant to be kept a secret, but some New York radio outlets announced the performance earlier in the day.
